Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Everyone could see what was happening. At the crucial moment of the competition, Darcie teamed up with Mallory and Jaylene. The reason was obvious. The prize pool was 10 million, with 80% going to the winner. To get a reward, you had to make it to the top ten, which was no easy feat. In reality, it was more about appearances than a fair competition.

Stella suggested expanding the prize to the top 20 and excluding Jaylene, making it easier for everyone to win something.

The 8 million championship prize was still up for grabs, and with Jaylene out of the picture, who wouldn’t want to give it a shot?

People in the room exchanged looks, each considering their chances.

Darcie didn’t need a vote to know the outcome. She looked at Stella and smiled. “No need to vote. I think your idea is good. Let’s go with it. I hope everyone does their best. I’ll personally host a banquet to celebrate.”

Stella met her gaze and smiled back. “Then I wish you all success in advance.”

She started clapping, and everyone followed. As their eyes met, they silently acknowledged the tension between them.

Jaylene was furious. She stormed out as soon as the meeting ended and collided with a secretary carrying documents. Papers scattered everywhere. “Are you blind?” Jaylene snapped, her anger flaring.

The secretary turned pale and quickly apologized.

Darcie frowned and called Jaylene’s name, but Jaylene ignored her, shoved the secretary aside, and slammed the door on her way out, making a loud noise.

She looked at Darcie with a helpless expression and quietly asked, “Aunt, is Jaylene upset? I didn’t mean to target her. My suggestion was for the company’s benefit. If she’s really upset about the bonus, we can forget I ever
